i had mine for 2 years then it went dormant i took it out of the soil and placed it in a bag and after a few months its startet to rott i guess it was too cold and wet ... its really a picky plant especially in dormancy
Just planted my first Corm ever. The bulbs were given by an award winning plant. She gives a few out every year to put a little good energy out there. My Corms were small. I have two,, a little bigger than a silver dollar, but theyre definitely alive because there is a green dot sticking out like a nipple. Any suggestions or advise on this, my very first corpse plant, would be greatly appreciated . Thanks✌ post script, I live in Florida, and will be growing them indoors until they're big enough to not have to worry about weather, or pests like squirrels .
Damon likes to use a high quality potting soil that he added some chunk to; 30% lava or other chunkiness. Keep the pot smaller as a very large pot it more likely to rot so it’s best to put it into something that leaves 2-3” around the corm and then repot and upsize every 2-3 years. Fertilizer them with osmocote when they’re actively growing!
@@youtubernaz1scensoredbythe201 it should grow the first year and it depends a little on your conditions when you’ll see that growth. Our big Amorphophallus just flumped over in the hot house so the cycle begins anew
I noticed you said that you let the corm dry out after the plant goes dormant but I keep hearing others say these type of amorphophallus need to stay moist no matter what and do not like to dry out even during dormancy because they come from a very rainy and wet environment in the wild. Yours seem to be doing well regardless, so I’m guessing it’s okay to let them dry out even with all the conflicting advice for care at dormancy?
We prefer to let them dry out between watering in cultivation because they can rot. We don’t let them get bone dry but we want to reduce the chance of that rot.
I've been trying to find the right person to get me a corpse flower!(Amorphophallus Titanum) I couldn't find it on your website. Could you help me out? Thanks!
my stem bent on a 2 year plant i’m not sure on the exact type but i think it’s the titanum. it’s currently over 3 ft tall. if you have any information on how to help it please let me know. ive worked really hard to keep her healthy and don’t want to see her die
@@California_Carnivores My question was about me and the other lovers of the titan. Like if I will grow this plant for years then how do I get the pollen and how much it will cost me?
@@yesno9895 I’m not sure, I would try the carnivorous plant forums on Facebook and see if there are other Amorphophallus growers there. Or there may be a group already for Amorphophallus growers!
I've been growing Amorphophallus 'konjac' for years. AWESOME maroon flowers that stink like dead bodies! Great plants!
What an awesome plant!
I am from the Czech Republic and the botanical garden to which you sent the pollen was probably the Liberec Botanical Garden :)
Hi! We love our little Amorphophallus titanum seedlings! It was such a fun collaboration!
@@California_Carnivores Thanks i didn´t expect you there XD
Toby is SO cute! Will California Carnivores be opening for in-person visits again soon?
We aren’t planning on reopening to the public but we may offer tours in the future
Thank you for sharing I will check out your website ❤🧟🌺🌺
I live in zone 9a in Florida and it it'll be difficult in the wintertime. We get cold snaps in the winter.
That’s definitely going to be a little too cold to grow outside in winter!
Great vid, thanks!

Does this plant always start from a crom or will it just root if proped from seed?
You can prop it from seed

@@California_Carnivores Thanks. If you get around to it, could you tell me how long after I plant the corm, will I see growth??

hi toby!!
From nagaland
Hi bro did you sealed amorphophulls flowers if you sealed the flower then what is the price of flowers

We should have more later in the season!

it’s still very green and only has been actively growing for about 5 months so i don’t believe it’s “flumping”
It it’s softening as well, it’s probably done growing for the season. But if not it may just be too much or too little water.
@@California_Carnivores thank you!
I can grow this gigantic flower but the big question is from where & how much it cost to get the pollen?
We coordinated with a botanical garden in the Czech Republic to send them pollen. It can be hard to find another blooming flower!

I will be waiting for the answer. 😘
Eu tenho uma
How are we supposed to visit? 🤨
We don’t currently have plans to reopen to the public but we may do tours in future!
What soil you use to?
We use a mix of nice potting soil and well draining components like perlite, pumice and peat moss.
